Our dear friend Lewis, also known as HRH Ginny Lemon (from the telly) needs help. Ginny is currently very unwell in hospital with meningitis, and will likely need to stay in hospital for two weeks with additional time needed to recover afterwards.

As a self-employed artist, Ginny doesn't receive sick pay and will not be able to earn anything over this time (if you don't do the gig, you don't get paid). This is already a challenging time to be an artist - gigs are less frequent and funding is scarce. Ginny is a working-class disabled queer artist with no financial support to fall back on - and the worry about how to cover their mortgage & bills during this time is real.

So we're trying to raise £1000 to help fill the gap that this unexpected and very serious illness has left, so that Ginny can focus entirely on getting better, rest, and recovery. Any money we raise over the initial target will go towards support Ginny's recovery, giving them as much time as possible to get better before going back to work.

There are so many causes that need support at the moment, so we totally understand if you're not able to support right now - but please share and help us spread the word.
